The skiing is obviously gaurenteed but you are skiing on ice, its so cold there that any snow that does fall crystalises almost immediately, if thats the right expression. Whatever there is no powder. Max altitude was about 400 feet, you ski on hills not mountains so runs are quite short.

Hope I've not put too much of a downer on the place,,

Ruka was brill in March. March being the best time to go, it was expensive but had a great time.
